As I’ve been knocking doors across the 45th Ward, residents have noted that Gardiner has been even more “absent” than usual. Now we know why: he’s been focused on getting a payout on his way out the door. Follow our campaign for real representation, and find ways to help, at bit.ly/sgdnewsletter

Damn, that fight ended fast

in the century+ since debs said this, all that has changed is “millions” on both occurrences could be replaced by “billions”

Honest to god if you do not live in Chicago you are missing out and I feel bad for you

Pathetic that JB caved & wants to drain tax revenues for sports owned by a super-rich family As the S-T points out this gives "tax breaks to a franchise valued at nearly $9 billion while homeowners statewide struggle to keep up with their property tax bills." chicago.suntimes.com/bears-stadiu...

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Welcome to our new series: It's time to Tax the MF Rich.

Renewable energy has (for the moment) surpassed natural gas in the US, for the first time: “But perhaps more impressive is that renewables are growing their market share while overall electricity demand climbs. Put simply, clean energy is taking a bigger slice of a growing pie.”

moon mission got me feeling some such way

How do I work through this unprecedented time I mutter to myself for the 20th time this year.

good morning

Geophysicists say there is an increased risks of destructive floods and wild fires due to climate change. A guy who thinks he was teleported to a Waffle House says there's nothing to worry about. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

This is so, so well-articulated.

Eugene Debs, May Day 1919 “With every drop of my blood I defy their law, and I despise them. I am appealing to you, to the common people; I care nothing about the Supreme Court, corporation lawyers every one of them. The Supreme Court is not the court of last resort; the people are.”

Not sure what this normies stuff is about but if you haven't noticed nice ladies do a lot of the activist work in this country and have since the abolitionist movement, you maybe should.

Wish I loved anything as much as delivery robots love crashing into bus shelters

Look, I really love for you that emo indie ban with 5 followers that you deeply love. Truly I love that for you. But you can't viscerally hate Ed Sheeran and love socialism. I don't make the rules. (I do)

Gang. GANG. Here's that Ghanian bootleg Cheers artwork you were looking for.

“Deport him to prison in El Salvador” uhhhhhhhh woah there

Israel is distinctly unpopular with the Democratic base and pretty unpopular with independents. this should help clarify that Newsom isn’t trying to move away from *unpopular* lefty positions, he’s trying to abandon the left entirely
